What attribute_partner_to_deal does on Starfield
AI agents invoke attribute_partner_to_deal to trigger actions in Starfield. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
dryRun | boolean | — | Defaults to TRUE: returns a preview of the exact write (payload + endpoint) without executing. Set false to execute live. |
motion | string | — | |
approved | boolean | — | Required true for live execution — explicit approval of this specific money write. |
evidence | object | — | |
partnerId | string | Yes | |
confidence | number | — | |
auditReason | string | — | Required (non-empty) for live execution: why this write is happening. Stored for audit. |
opportunityId | string | Yes | |
idempotencyKey | string | — | Required for live execution: unique key (e.g. a ULID) sent as the Idempotency-Key header. Reuse the SAME key on retry so the write cannot double-book. |
attributionType | string | Yes | |
incrementalAmount | number | — |

The rule that runs attribute_partner_to_deal safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Starfield, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For attribute_partner_to_deal, this is the rule to start with:
attribute_partner_to_deal stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Starfield, apply this rule, and every attribute_partner_to_deal call is checked against it from then on.
